[QUOTE="Zimboy, post: 189185, member: 15987"] Greetings, I've also recently acquired the 105mm micro, and was on the brink of returning it because it was hunting focus too much and because it was a bit too heavy and huge for me. Was considering the 85mm micro instead. Well, boy am I glad I kept it! The more I use it the more I love it. Macro is a passion of mine, and I really enjoy hunting flying insects and trying to catch them (not easy..). I know autofocus is a no-go in macro but I found it quite helpful having such fast af when on the hunt. Isn't using a tripod quite restricting for mobility? What about a monopod - wouldn't that be good too? Here's an image or two taken with my "old" D7000 before it died; [ATTACH=CONFIG]48879._xfImport[/ATTACH] nice bokeh behind that bumblebee, along with my sensor dust...
